Trump Criticizes Mamdani and Signals Support for Cuomo in Heated NYC Mayoral Race.
Former President Donald Trump openly backed Andrew Cuomo, the former governor of New York City, who was running as an independent on election day. The unexpected endorsement received a lot of attention because of Cuomo's complicated political career and Trump's well-known ties to New York politics.He also cautioned those who supported radical Democrat Zohran Mamdani.
The remarks drew harsh criticism from Zohran Mamdani, the left-leaning candidate.The threat "turns federal funding into a political weapon" and underscores the importance of this election, he said.The Trump administration said it will stop providing food assistance (SNAP) to 42 million Americans, despite a judge's order to do so. This, according to others, makes matters worse for politicians and those in need of assistance before to the election.
"I probably won't give any Federal Funds, except for the bare minimum that is required, if Mamdani wins."
Experts believe that Trump's involvement and the chance to raise funds could boost enthusiasm on both sides as election day draws near. In the biggest city in the US, there might not be enough collaboration between the federal government and the local government.
Zohran Mamdani Pushes Ambitious Housing and Transit Agenda in Final Stretch of NYC Mayoral Campaign.
Zohran Mamdani, a member of the New York State Assembly, is one of the most well-known progressive candidates for mayor of New York City in 2025. His main goals for his campaign were to lower the cost of housing, protect renters' rights, and make big investments in the city's public transportation system.
Mamdani is a well-known politician in New York who fights for the rights of immigrants and working-class people. He is from Astoria, which is in Queens. Since he took office in 2021, he has supported laws that would protect renters' rights, give the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) more money from the state, and make it harder for landlords to kick out tenants. A few problems in the neighborhood came up while he was running for mayor.
Mamdani has always said during the campaign that the legislative and executive branches need to act quickly to fix the housing problem in New York City. He supports the "Good Cause Eviction" law because it stops landlords from evicting tenants without a good reason and from raising rent by a lot. He says that the community will be stable as long as everyone follows this rule.
“Housing is a human right,” Mamdani said during a recent rally in Queens. “New Yorkers should not have to live in fear of displacement or be priced out of the neighborhoods they helped build.”
Political analysts say that Mamdani's rise in the race for mayor shows how the city's politics are changing to appeal to a younger and more liberal population. Many people have come to his campaign events in Brooklyn and Queens, especially first-generation immigrant families, students, and renters.
Mamdani has a lot of fans, but it's still hard to get moderate and older voters who are worried about crime, the police, and the economy to vote for him. Some people who don't like him say that some of his ideas would be too hard or too expensive to put into action without help from the government.
